Song Hye Kyo, the popular South Korean actress, is all set to appear in the occult horror movie Dark Nuns. During an interview, she recently addressed the popular nickname TaeHyeJi and said that she values compliments on her acting more than looks. The plot of the movie follows two nuns who take it upon themselves to save a boy possessed by an evil spirit.

On January 21, 2025, Song Hye Kyo appeared for a press conference to promote her upcoming movie, Dark Nuns, and discussed various aspects of it. However, she was also asked about the nickname TaeHyeJi, which refers to Kim Tae Hee, Jun Ji Hyun, and Song Hye Kyo, the three actresses celebrated for their beauty and exceptional acting skills in the early 2000s.

Song Hye Kyo mentioned that she appreciated it in her younger years and said, “I liked it.” Moreover, she admired the other actresses associated with it, Kim Tae Hee and Jun Ji Hyun, but she believed it was now time for the younger generation of actors to get their own recognition. Her modest and thoughtful response drew attention.

Moreover, the actress also discussed her recent performances, in which she appeared to prioritize character depth over appearance. Song Hye Kyo explained that she had long moved away from focusing on her looks. Citing The Glory as an example, she noted that no reflectors were used on set, aligning with the project's tone. While the staff ensured the details were well-executed, she believed this approach suited the role and story better.
